was buried in constructing the line-of-sight (LOS) pipes and other test structures. Exposure rates in the order of 50-100 u R/h were observed during the 1971 survey effort. The fallout H+l hour insult was some 6,184 R/h from a tctal of 2b nuclear tests. This was sound indication of both fallout and probable buried contamination on (or under) much of the island's area. Corre- spondingly, the soils program took this into account in developing the following -orormation requirements: 1. Provide sufficient sample numbers to stratify the island into a minimum of three stratifications of equal numbers (surface only). 2. Detect an area as small as 10% of island to a depth of 70 cm, which would be contaminated due to construction mixing with a probability of 1.0. 3. Detect an area as small as 25% of island with a probability of 1.0 to a depth of 190 cm (6 ft) contaminated due to construction mixing. h, Determine only large volumes of soil for cleanup. JANET (ENGEBL) is the second largest island on the Atoll and was the site of three early nuclear tests. Historically, JANET had much to consider. The site of one of the bloodiest battles of World War II, the island harbored artifacts from not only nuclear testing but also from the extensive fortifications built by the Japanese and the munitions expended by the U. 5. Marines in demolishing those fortifications. debris from the war and testing. The beaches and interior are lgttered with Everywhere can be found unfired small arms emmunitions, unexploded naval and field artillery shells, rusted land and beach mines (Japanese), and unexploded bombs, etc. Superimposed upon this war debris are the activated remnants (up to 12 mR/h in 1971) of the nuclear testing days. Test structures are everywhere. of a large base camp. The island was also the site It was also a primary site of native habitation and would probably be so again.
